After her husband had gone to work, Mrs. Richard
sent her children to school and went upstairs to her
bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that
morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy
dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a
ghost and as she had made her costume the night before,
she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume
consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After
putting it on, Mrs. Richard went downstairs. She wanted to
find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.
Just as Mrs. Richards was entering the dining-room,
there was a knock on front door. She knew it must be the
baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she
failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the
kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs.
Richards quickly hid in the small store-room under the
stair. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in
the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened
and a man entered. Mrs. Richards realized that it must be
the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read
the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying ‘It’s
only me’, but it was too late. The man let out a cry and
jumped back several paces. When Mrs. Richards walked
towards him, he fled, slamming the door behind him.
